Location: MHacks X

Students spend 36 hours building anything they can imagine, and take breaks to interact with technology visionaries, founders, and find new mentors. They meet with the hottest, most sought-after companies in the world who vie for hackers' attention. For MHacks, students give up a weekend of partying to invest a weekend in their personal growth by learning something new, and creating solutions to problems they see in the world.

MHacks isn't just a hackathon -- it's a community of people who have ideas and build them.

Eligibility

- Teams may include up to four members.

- All hacks must be built at MHacks X by registered participants. Unregistered hackers will not be allowed to participate.

- Remote participation is not allowed.

Requirements

Judging will be divided into seven different categories of hacks. Upon completion of their hack, participants will self-designate the best category in which they wish to be judged. These seven categories are based on the cortex model of MHacks:

iOS
Android
Web Development
Game Design
Hardware
VR/AR
AI/ML

Students and teams may not enter into more than one of the above seven categories. To promote fairness, students must briefly justify the category they chose.
